I shoot raw when I care about the photos and I'm not just taking snapshots. The whole "if you learn to shoot you won't need to post-process" argument has been around since people were pushing film and dodging & burning at the enlarger. Now we just do it with software instead of chemicals and light. Digital sensors are much better now, but I still think they do not have the exposure latitude and contrast of film. When the light is not perfect, I appreciate having a little more wiggle room that raw will give. In fact, one trick for harsh light is to shoot raw, then process one shot a little over-exposed to keep the shadow details and another a bit under to keep the sky from being blown out, and then blend them in post-processing.
The other aspect to consider is that many cameras apply way too much in-camera processing when shooting jpg. Too much saturation and too much sharpening may make pictures pop - but at the expense of unnatural skin tones, halos and other sharpening artifacts. I would rather make those choices myself, using my own tools.
